This blog is about creating mixed media projects and maybe a card or two, while also having fun along the way. I hope to make you laugh out loud and enjoy the art we create. I may share some info about pets because I am an avid animal person and also a Vet Tech.Happy Crafting!Carpe Diem!

It's the Little Things in Life......

This layout was tricky because I wanted to be able to submit it to multiple challenges (check out their blogs using the links at the end of this post). I also wanted to use burlap and my little dog Jaz (she's 13 years old).

Jazmin will bring me her coat/jacket if she is cold. I keep her clothes in a chest by the front door so she can choose at will. Can you say adorable?

Now to the art! First I applied some gesso to frame where I would place my photo.

Then I layered the photo of little Jaz with papers from the Mariposa stack (clearance bin at Joannes).

I used metal pieces that I got in an ephemera pack from Spareparts as well as some flowers and other spare items to complete the LO. This LO is from the SOE sketch for the June challenge. The black circle was made using the lid of a Tupperware bowl and black acrylic paint. Hehe! Use what you've got, no?

What a great canvas! I love all the layers and embellishments you've added. When I first popped over to your page I was a little surprised, your little Jaz looks a lot like my dog Pappy. He likes to wear his sweaters too, but he hasn't brought them to me yet. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creation with us over at Left of Center Challenges.
